Wonderful people, great selection of all kinds of things, however, the prices are insanely high. They had a book there for almost $30 that I bought at Walmart for $13, which i looked up on google while still standing in the store, and they don't bother to hide the original price tag very well. And they don't put obvious price tags on everything. They had a "used" small squishmallow for $9 sitting right next to a new small Squishmallow for $20. They looked exactly the same and it's a good thing I asked or else I would've been in for an ugly surprise at checkout ?. And isn't there supposed to be a law or something protecting against price gouging on products? ?
Anyway, this is a good place to go and "window shop" and then look up the product elsewhere for a more reasonable price.

It's hit-or-miss whether or not you're going to find something good at a good price. The staff are friendly, though. They pay next to nothing for trade-ins, so I don't recommend trading with them unless you really just want to get rid of stuff.

I love Second & Charles, but I wish they’d learn how to properly price items. It’s appalling to see used books priced higher than if you were to purchase brand new from elsewhere, or when you remove the Second & Charles price sticker, it’s covering another tag from a different store that sold it for less. If you’re going to raise the price, at the very least, remove the price tag from the previous seller. There’s no way a tag of $12.95 should be covering a book previously sold for $4.95. I’ve had 2nd and Charles stickers for $9.95 covering $1 stickers. There’s also no reason a book marked as used should cost more than a brand new book from Target, Walmart, or even Barnes and Noble. That’s absurd. If I can find that same book at Barnes and Noble for less, you KNOW your used prices are too high. I’m sure that’s a system thing and not necessarily the employees, so I can’t place fault on the workers or this particular location, hence the five star rating still.
The wall decor, funkos, shirts and socks, mugs, and other toys and knickknacks from here are amazing. The funko prices can be a bit crazy at times as well though. I’ve sat in there and ordered the same funkos brand new online for less than they were selling used ones, or had just purchased the exact funko at Target or elsewhere, seen it here and decided to compare prices to find that 2nd & Charles was selling the used funko for double, triple, or more the price of it brand new, so definitely check prices, but the variety is amazing, especially when you get lucky and find rare ones.
The horror section has definitely been improving steadily so I LOVE that. They even set up a new display and area for it. I wish it was larger and more varied other than Darcy Coates and Stephen King, but again, they can only stock what folks trade in or what’s super popular at the moment.
The manga section is awesome. I wish it were bigger, but it’s a smaller location, so they fit what they could in there, and tbh, for the size of the store, the manga section is pretty huge. You’ll often have some amazing finds in there, as well as the graphic novels area.
The children’s books are amazing, and they have a ton of Minecraft and Pokémon books, which my kids love. There’s also quite the selection of activity books as well.
The manager, I believe he is, Angelou or something, is amazingly helpful. He’s kind, attentive, and has amazing customer service. He often walks through the store and checks on customers and offers to grab a cart for you if he sees your hands are full. He’s just overall a good vibe. This location is always clean and well organized. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Big book store. Some used books are mixed in with newly released books. Games are available to purchase. Small section of Spanish books. No place to sit and read a book so be prepared to stand up the entire time inside the store.

Love it. My daughter recently turned me on to the store. I have a cookbook obsession and 2nd and Charles has a great selection.

I like it but not my cup of tea it’s very expensive but in a few sections it’s very cool, they have lots of vinyls and books, they also have a medium size sectionS of toys but very expensive they also have little funny gadgets and candy
